Starring Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, La Luna Sangre's episodes that aired from January to March 2018 always became trending topics on Twitter.

Through this social media site, viewers and fans voiced out their opinions about the ABS-CBN show.

One of the most significant episodes aired during these three months was the exit of Angel Locsin's Jacintha character. This prompted viewers to speculate if Jacintha was actually the future, older version of Malia, played by Kathryn.

Fans also noticed some technical problems that happened to the special effects of that particular episode, which were fixed in the recap of the next episode.

2. Bagani

Bagani, which aired its pilot episode on March 5, is top-billed by Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil.

Prior to the premiere of the Kapamilya show, Bagani already created buzz on social media when netizens started bashing the show for casting Liza and Enrique in the lead roles, mainly because of their Euro-centric features.

This was after people assumed that the series is set in pre-colonial times. However, business unit head Des Tanwangco said in an interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) that the show only got inspiration from Filipino mythology and it is not a historical show.

Bagani also trended on social media because of Dimples Romana's character Babaylan Gloria, where she used chants such as "Mekeni Mekeni tugtog do-re-mi" that received mixed reactions from audiences.

GMA-7 headwriter Suzette Doctolero criticized the writer of the show for the unflattering depiction of babaylans in Bagani.

The show also had a blooper when a cast member was seen wearing branded footwear in one scene.

Another trending moment in the show was Kristine Hermosa's comeback on ABS-CBN, after taking a hiatus from doing teleseryes for several years.
